What factors influence the biochemical constituents of the water? understand that dynamic expansion and contraction are essential processes in all biological systems thus what we think of as stability is actually an absence of essential variation as genuine stability it when the fluctuations in parameters reduce enough to no longer produce toxic extremes rather than no fluctuation occurring at all...this realisation suggests that each element of a micro biome can reach a stage of perpetual equilibrium as long as all elements exist at the correct ratio,,,!

It’s all about balance. If you do a capped dirted tank, and you have say 75% plants from the start, you won’t have to add anything for the plants for probably a year and by that time the fish load or bioload will then sustain the plants by putting nutrients back into the soil.

How many days it will alive?

How many days it will alive?

Thanks a lot! Solid info.

I once tried to do an experiment and gradually switched from weekly to biweekly water changes in my planted tank with a goldfish. The goldfish developed fungus within approximately a month, and then I spent around a year curing the goldfish of the fungus. It got entirely cured just recently. At one point it even had fungus on its eyes.

Nice video. Yeah, all rich substrates even modern Aquasoils will put tons of nutrients into the water column for 1st 30 Days. Many aquascapers do 40% water changes daily forst week. Then 30% every 2-3 days 2nd week. 3rd week 25% every 4 days. After 30 days your then safe to reduce water changes to 15% per week or buweekly ir just to replace evaporated water. Other do a "Dark Start" first 30 days. They add substrate & hardscape, add water then let tank stay without any animals or light for 30 days, no plants either kf course. Let the ruch substrate leech whatever it will do. It will most likely self cycle with all that ammonia at first. After 30 days add plants, fish & lighting. Doing so reduces many fish diseases, stressors & deaths. Less plants die off & easier for them to also acclimate. I would suggest not to do 90 or 100% water changes, evenbeith cycled established media. This alone will result in a "mini-cycle". I've never heard of Algae killing a fish before, thats a new one. Yes, if you have many plqnt leaves dying that can decay and add ammonia to water column. Good Luck & keep your sleeves wet

Does breeding happen in this multiple betta tank ?

My water changes are less in dirted tanks. I have walstad Ecosphere jars which have never required a water change

Great looking tank 👌

Have a big tank with a lot of plants and hiding places like real life, have a bunch of girl betta's let's say 5-8 and max 2-3 males depending on the tank size/plants and female betta's.

Just beautiful. You encourage me to do a video on Betta Harems. I was staying away from it before since so many people in the hobby are against them or don't understand how to pull it off. It can be done and your video clearly shows how to make it work. I love how you incorporated some dither fish with the tetras and the cories. Heavily planted tank and longer tank. You covered all the bases. Well done!

Thanks dude, it cultured in just 3 days 😊 😍

The worst feeling is to have a betta with severe dropsy and knowing there is nothing to do. We went to our local pet store to get some medicine but the said she is to far gone. I have had her for multiple years and it is crazy how attached you get to these little animals. I sure will miss her❤

nice set up 4.6/5

why is the water so cloudy?

Very well explained, water testing kits are very expensive. How else would I know the nitrogen cycle is over for a dirted tank

Beautiful! What kind of beta is this ?

Are dropsy contagious?

Check out father

This is too late, but what's the dosis per 10 gallons?

Do they mate and make baby bettas?

I’m sorry, I lost 6 out of 7 of my Beautiful Bettas this way.

Nice. What are plants you have in that?

Wow...That's also one of my dream fish tank set up. I want to keep multiple male and female bettas too. Just like in the wild and no fighting. And by the way. The setting of your planted tank is similar to father fish.😍

What are the desned plants that you have to break line of sight? Thanks

how did you get them to mate? 1 Female? As far as multiple males in a tank, I feel like having males start as fry with the original adult is the only way to make this happen.

I have a male and a female in with some guppy’s. No problems. I’m going to do multiple males and females soon

..... it’s just another industry scam to keep us buying them separately with their own set ups isn’t it... I got over 10 tanks now and to think I could’ve went with one big ass planted jungle tank I knew it smh }:(

Outstanding :)

Omggg! This is so inspiring! I wanna have 3 males bettas together too 😍

My 20 Long tank is set up, and I just bought 6 female bettas as well as neon and black tetras. I can’t wait to put them in my tank, and I will be putting a male in there as well but I will wait a few days. I do like the fact that in one of your videos you had two males in there. Should I introduce males one at a time or at the same time?

Do you leave the mulch on the aquarium floor?

What is a biofilm?

from my experience, mebendazole works better if dissolved with ethanol (can use vodka) before adding to tank.

I have 4 guppies, 2 plecos, 2 male bettas, and 2 female bettas in a 20 gallon long. Do you think it is possible to breed a pair from this tank? If I set up a separate breeding tank?

Great footage, lovely choice of music

Would having a closed lid on a tank make any difference in C02 ?

I almost don't hear you.

thank you! this will be my first tank

I have one male and three girls in a 290ltr and they are fine. The male does a little chase now and again but goes back to doing his own thing. As long as they have their own territory, lots of places to go and are well fed and happy, they're fine.

Just found your channel and I'm loving it. I also apply the Walstad method in most of my tanks. I'm curious, now after a year, do you still have this betta community in the tank? Thanks for the wonderful videos.

Thanks a lot, this explains things a bit. I was wondering, what's wrong with my cycle. Then I added fish food, and the tank started smelling a bit, and I thought that would help it cycle, then I saw little wormies on the walls of the tank, and then it started to smell good again, but ammonia stays 0, and nitrites stay 0.25 and nothing moves, though all the plants and mosses grow well. I wonder if nitrites come from soil, because they were 0.25 from the beginning. I wonder if I should just wait for them to go down or do something. It's 4 weeks already :(

Can you use cucumbers?

I'm surprised you cleaned the sides before pouring out the water.

Great video . I'm just setting up a 75g tank that will house 2 males and 5 females when it's ready. But I have a lot of planting to work on first. Glad to see your success.

But if you look at my most recent post it has natural gravel. In Taiwan betas are kept in half gallons so I was trying to compare both cultures since I'm American

That's an excellent setup for a beta sorority and it's large enough to have two males. I think the only reason I wouldn't want that though is because I don't want baby bettas. Definitely a female sorority is awesome. I was blessed with a female sorority beta of four females and they all got along really well. Mainly because they were the same size and there was lots of plans for them to go to. I had that tank for about 2 years and they all went to heaven but then I put in a beta crown tail named panther and he has a community tank of five guppies I've had the tank for quite a while and the tank meets have been in there I think for about a month. I actually have a channel that I started a long time ago to keep a record of what was killing my fish Turns out I live in Taiwan and the water's volcanic but I fixed it. If you look at my most recent post which I'm not going to be escaping yet it's doing pretty well My channel is called welcome to the wire you're welcome to take a look at it. I'm sorry I started off with color gravel hardscape and plants

do mebendazole safe for plants? are the hydra completely dead? how much dosage for 3.5 gallon tank?

Hi IS, why do you think coarse gravel is better than polished gravel ?
